Ponti described his “Superleggera” as the “normal,” “true” chair, the “chair-chair devoid of adjectives.”1 This chair-chair was put to the test by Ponti throwing the chair from the fourth story of an apartment building into the street, where it bounced like a ball without breaking.
This is a blog inspired by his thinking. The Blog-Blog.
